چکیده

We study the value of component commonality in assemble-to-order systems under no-holdback allocation rules. We prove that the total product backorder and on-hand component inventory decrease with probability one as the degree of commonality increases; however, the average cost may not decrease unless a certain cost symmetric condition is imposed. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

No-Holdback Allocation Rules for Continuous-Time Assemble-to-Order Systems

This paper analyzes a class of common-component allocation rules, termed no-holdback (NHB) rules, in continuous-review assemble-to-order (ATO) systems with positive lead times. The inventory of each component is replenished following an independent base-stock policy. In contrast to the usually assumed first-come-first-served (FCFS) component allocation rule in the literature, an NHB rule alloca...

The Value of Component Commonality in a Dynamic Inventory System with Lead Times

Component commonality has been widely recognized as a key factor in achieving product variety at low cost. Yet, the theory on the value of component commonality is rather limited in the inventory literature. The existing results were built primarily on single-period models or periodic-review models with zero lead times. In this paper, we consider a continuous-review system with positive lead ti...

On component commonality for periodic review assemble-to-order systems

We study the value of component commonality in a periodic review assemble-to-order system, introduced by Akçay and Xu in 2004, where an independent base stock policy and a first-come-first-served allocation rule are used, and the base stock levels and the component allocation are optimized jointly. We show that lowering component commonality may yield a higher type-II service level. The lower d...

Power allocation rules under fuzzy behavior and multicriteria situations

In this paper, we adopt supreme-utilities among fuzzy level (decision) vectors to propose a power allocation rule, its efficient extension and normalization in the framework of multicriteria fuzzy transferable-utility (TU) games. We also provide several axiomatic results to present the rationality for these rules. Based on different viewpoints, we introduce different formulations and dynamic re...

Endogenously arising network allocation rules

In this paper we study endogenously arising network allocation rules. We focus on three allocation rules: the Myerson value, the position value and the component-wise egalitarian solution. For any of these three rules we provide a characterization based on component efficiency and some balanced contribution property. Additionally, we present three mechanisms whose equilibrium payoffs are well d...
